My First build..

Hello, im building a quad. This is my first time building anything that flies, but i do enjoy a good challenge. i have flown rtf quads for a while now and wanted to step up my game. I also plan to put a simple FPV system on it as well ...

Hi,
You list looks OK. I recommend that you get a spare motor, ESC and many extra props. Your AUW with the FPV gear will be getting over 1kg, so be careful with your prop choice. I recommend APC1047s because they never break in flight as the EPPs will do on heavier multicopters. Consider a higher c-rated lipo like the Nano brand in the 4400-5K mah range down the road too if you are planning to use this mainly for AVP.

I just ordered some $9 feet but this looks better. So it has something to hold a camera with two servos?

Yeah, i got it delivered today. mostly put it together.. got my servos coming tomorrow. look to me like it has one servo mount for tilt. if you want the camera to pan.. you might have to improvise.. tilt is good enough for me at the moment though..
